He’s there because of injuries. Which bit of that is so hard to understand? We spent 2m quid on him in a time for us where that is a lot of money. He’s awful.

I just don’t see it, he’s far to weak on the ball and struggles to take more than two touches, he works hard but he’s not at this level.

I’ve said it before some fans would happy clap anyone if they “work aaaarrdd’”. Doesn’t matter if they’re an utterly inept footballer who has a dreadful touch, is poor in the air, can’t finish or cross. Your post is neither original, nor thought provoking.

Not his fault he’s being picked to play where he has, but he never looks like scoring. Works hard but that isn’t enough on it’s own. Touch is dreadful.
Looked ok up until a game in November, can’t remember which one it was now, but has been a bit shite since.
He should be given the benefit of the doubt though as he’s only a young lad and there is plenty of time for him to improve. There is a decent player in there somewhere.

Agreed. At the moment he is the best winger/striker in the Championship, i would even go to the extend of saying Premier League.
I just don't understand why no big clubs are after him. Maybe soon?
World's most gifted footballer.

But to keep using him when there are other options is just daft. He’s shown he’s best used from the bench.

He works very hard but he really does lack any quality on the ball.

Like you logging on when we don’t win? If you'd only logged on when we win we'd have had the pleasure of not seeing you for weeks Bless. Funny how we’re so high. got few likes from your other anti stoke tools though so well done you.

This season 21 apps, 1 goal. Last season with Barnsley in the Championship, 40 apps, 3 goals. Think he’s going to need some help if we want to make the play offs. Like I said earlier, works hard defending from the front, but that isn’t goals and that’s obviously what we need.

He is really doing the very best he can do. The idle barracking of him is becoming tiring and is really disappointing imo He's working to his max. and should at least be respected for this. He is not picking the team. He is a best option up front as things stand until we buy better, that is the reality Get off his back and give him at least some credit for giving 100% every single minute of each game So he's deviod of critism because he " works arrd". Typical unambitious Stoke supporter. OK, Exactly how does criticising a player who gives his all help the team??? Please explain...I am all ears One of the reasons we were successful in the first half is that we pressed them hard up top, they could hardly get out of their own half and Brown contributed to that.

At least we have got someone who is willing to run up top for 90 minutes, and press the opposition which he did very successfully for 60 minutes along with Powell. If Vokes played they would have been playing 30m up the pitch from Minute 1.

He’s utter garbage any self respecting process that watched him 25 times and thinks he’s a footballer worth £2m needs abandoning immediately and and those who run it summarily fired for gross incompetence .

I thought he'd played a decent amount of games up top for his old club? I thought that he was more of winger? (I just checked Wiki - that fountain of truth, ha! - And he seems to be listed as a winger). Yeh I think he was always meant to be a winger but for some reason I've got it in my head they used him as a striker too, ah well he clearly isn't one

He did a good job, it’s not his fault, but his contribution is not going to result in the goals we’ll need or ever will do imo. Hopefully, Fletcher will return soon or by some miracle Vokes will resemble a centre forward.

More the sentiment really and in my defence the only 2 people who I saw had liked it was boskampsoatcake and wakey, both of whom are.

Your post is neither original, nor thought provoking. But it’s true. Are there any other fans in the country so appreciative of shit footballers that run a lot? He’s been terribly underwhelming since he’s arrived and I’ve been critical since early doors. He was slightly better today but is nowhere near the required standard. There were some who thought if Campbell was going this lad could step into his shoes. Just goes to show how valuable TC is to this team

I just think he’s a poor choice to replace him. I won’t say who I think should because people don’t like it despite the huge body of evidence that shows Brown is shite.

I'm not Brown's biggest fan, but given the situation we're in (Powell aside) he's the best we've got. He presses harder and seems to win more in the air than Vokes, and his work rate is spot on. I just find it amusing that for every person praising work ethic, we've got another taking the piss out of them for it. It's getting a bit boring if I'm honest.
